Registered Nurse (RN) - Cottage Health
Santa Barbara, CA 93101
About the Job
The Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital Infusion Suite provides comprehensive intravenous service across the continuum of medical care with the latest treatments, specialized expertise, and a caring personal approach.
The quality of care we provide to our patients and families is the foundation of our Outpatient Infusion Suite. The nursing staff is incredibly proud of the unit's excellent physician-nurse collaboration to meet our patients' and their families' needs.
Infusion therapy involves the administration of medication through a port or catheter when a patient's condition is such that it cannot be treated effectively by oral medications.
Typically, \"infusion therapy\" means that a medication is administered intravenously. Still, the term may also refer to situations where medications are provided through other non-oral routes, such as intramuscular or subcutaneous injections.
Our nurses have specialized expertise and will work with each patient to ensure a positive treatment experience. The staff strives to create a comfortable environment that meets their individual needs.
